These are characterized by
high energy densities while remaining small and light enough to be used in portable devices.
Coal is the legacy of solar for the previous eons, and it has
high energy density while being relatively abundant.
Not exact matches
While that sounds like a small number that will not cause thermal damage, it is easily thousands if not millions of times
higher than the
energy density shown to cause biological damage in hundreds of studies, as biological damage typically shows up in the micro to picowatt range.
And
while hard drives have traditionally been the workhorse of large storage operations, a new wave of ultra-dense tape drives that pack in information at much
higher densities,
while using less
energy, is set to replace them.
This is because the extreme
density of the plasma gives rise to quantum effects,
while the
high energy density of the magnetic field gives rise to relativistic effects, says Shi.
High energy density means that there are a lot of calories in a small portion of food,
while lower
energy density means that there fewer calories in a large portion of food.
Another study by Penn State University researchers found that over a six - year study period, women eating a low
energy -
density diet gained about five pounds over six years,
while those eating the
higher energy -
density diet gained 14 pounds — nearly three times as much weight!
Some thoughts regarding your question: Dr. Greger's video talks about
energy density in foods and
while it is true that plant based foods are on average less
energy dense than animal based foods, it is also true that some plant based foods are some of the
highest energy dense foods on the planet... think of oils, processed sugar and white floor products.
this should mean that normally your appetite is suppressed so you
while it is a
high fat diet in terms of calorie profile, it is not a lot of fat because of the
energy density.
For instance, 25g of Swiss cheese provide about 100 kcal, i.e. the third of the daily calorie intake of a 3 - kg dog...
While offering sufficient
energy density to meet the
high requirements of small dogs, the diet must include a moderate quantity of fat.
I was trying to estimate the mining footprints of solar and nuclear, and came up with some very tentative rough estimates that ore input for solar
energy might have an
energy density (per unit mass) ~ 5 to 80 times coal,
while nuclear (convential US fuel cycle) may be ~ 20 times coal — on the solar side, this doesn't include some balance of system components, and on the nuclear side, it only includes the U, but on the solar side, the actual
energy density could get much
higher with recycling of the same material into multiple successive generations of solar
energy devices, and on the nuclear side, breeder reactors.
Using HDPE (
high -
density polyethylene) plastic — that's # 2 plastic for you recyclers out there — the RD4 chair aims to to view waste plastic packaging as a valuable resource as opposed to an ecological difficulty, utilize the embodied
energy present in waste plastics as effectively as possible, and generate a new recycled design aesthetic, breaking from traditional flat - pack forms,
while stimulating debate around recycling and the traditionally understood aesthetics of recycled products.
